After Nvidia relinquish the absolute performance crown for quite some time, AMD had to, and the latest dual GPU card in the form of the GTX 295 was introduced in January 2009, may soon be a changing of the guard. There is therefore now more signs of an imminent launch of the monster that is based on two cores GF110, and will bear the name GTX 590th
EVGA provides a model already showed at CES 2011, but gave no details known to the hardware that came inside the card is used. The main reason, the previous dual GPU card from Nvidia was prevented, the high power consumption of the Fermi architecture that Nvidia did not have long time under control. Only the newer models on the basis of the reduced GF104 offered a good compromise between performance and power consumption. Frugal is the GTX 590 turn out not at all, however, injects it the computing power of two GTX 580 cards a whole - which consume up to 244 watts.
Overall, the GTX590 has to our current knowledge of over 1024 Cuda cores, 3 GB GDDR5 memory and a 2x384-bit wide memory interface. The clock speeds of the card should be slightly above the values of a GTX 580, to counter the AMD HD 5970 or HD 6970 to their successors. This results in at least 772 MHz for the GPU, 1544 MHz to 4000 MHz shader and proud for the store. As can be seen at the two 8-pin connectors, is moving the power jenseitsvon good and bad, up to 375 watts can suck the monster of the two connectors and the PCI bus from the power supply. The power consumption is expected these values but probably not quite reach, since one of the transformers and other components of the card designed specifically for the DualGPU operation, and thus the second GPU with no more power to complete the book suggests.
